I was reflecting on the Watergate hearings today.

Watched much of them, (always a political wonk) and the tenner & statesmanship of that committee Vs. this is stunning. There is NO comparison & reflects the pathetic erosion in the art of bipartisan politics.

I wrote Lowell Weicker & Baker to thank them for their service on that committee. They helped bring a sense of order & calm during a terrible time for Our country.

The partisan bullies yesterday should be ashamed & voted out of office. We the people deserve better, MUCH better!

FWIW a young relative of mine recently did some work for the HRC campaign, met HRC, took a selfie, the whole bit. (I found this all rather unexpected ... suffice it to say this particular apple appears to have fallen rather far from the tree). The take home message was that HRC was one in very firm command of the moment but remarkably affable (contrary to much of the public perception).

An irony of the committee thingy is that is where HRC cut her teeth, as a staffer on the other side, bringing down Nixon. She's is likely chuckling pleasantly that she is facing these doofs instead of, well, ... herself.
